Most of the commercial HF users are gone to satellite, and the propagation over the last few weeks again confirms the wisdom of that move. This isn't 1950, and I really doubt that a few Mhz of goofy HF propagation has a high commercial value anymore. Frank Dresser |

A transceiver radio,even a cheaply home made transceiver radio with a
telegraph key and a little wire can transmit via morse code around the World when all of the cell phones and satellites are knocked out,can they not? cuhulin |

Anyway, one of the original article's points was that the emergency services already have their own radio equipment and don't need ham radio. Frank Dresser |
